PINT–SIZE PLAYS
Short play writing competition - 2017.
If it is funny - If it is sad - If it is original – it could be a winner. We are looking for original scripts, lasting from 5 – 10 minutes. The most interesting, funny, surprising, dramatic, or outrageous plays, are being sought, to entertain and delight.
Your play will be performed in a bar, using the tables and chairs, props and space readily available.
All entries will be judged on their originality and entertainment value, and short listed to a maximum of eight. These eight plays will be performed in front of a live audience, in Arrowtown and Queenstown and the winner will be decided by the audience.
Begun in Tenby, Wales in 2008, Pint-sized plays has quickly become established as a premier international competition for short plays. Remarkable Theatre, Queenstown launched ‘Pint-size plays NZ’ in 2012, to encourage new writing and introduce a new audience to the entertainment of live theatre.
